Officially a suicide, rumors whisper of a monstrous machine beneath his manor-the Black Fog, a sentient entity feeding on memories and warping time.

As the Fog thickens, Eleanor confronts a doppelgänger with her face and her father's consciousness fused into the gears. To stop the cult Obsidian Hand from weaponizing time, she must decide: destroy her father's creation, erasing herself and her sister's ghost, or become the Fog's new host. This gothic-steampunk thriller weaves a villain of living memory, a labyrinth breathing with temporal paradoxes, and women defying erasure in a society that fears their brilliance. The Clockwork Labyrinth of Lady Holloway- Where every tick is a lie, and every soul a cog in the machine.Complete
